Exams can be tricky to monitor. Particularly when you have a slightly shifty group of students. Particularly when said group is in a room that doesn’t have enough space for them to all sit individually.

Do you ever find yourself just talking to your class, continuing an explanation perhaps or re-explaining a task, just because it’s quiet and you feel the need to talk to them? I do, and I need to stop.

This week we hear from Emily Kate, teacher and founder of Actual Teaching; a collaborative blog for teacher experience and growth. She shares what she learnt from her first go at supervising a pre-service teacher.
